Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $98,547 of the $149,691 with a category attached, or 65.8%. Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. accounts for 98.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $57,298, more than ten times the $359 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in MI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Who reported the general payments

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
